Lemon Ginger Granola Bars

These bars are somewhere in between oatmeal cookies and a granola bars. I used white chocolate chips, but they would be just as good with chocolate or dark chocolate instead.

4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup flour (whole wheat works well)
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup soy milk
1 tsp vanilla
Grated zest of 1-2 organic lemons
1/2 to 1 cup (depending on your liking) candied ginger, chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
1/2 to 1 cup chocolate or white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 F, and line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Mix the rolled oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium size bowl. In a large bowl, mix the oil, brown sugar, soy milk, vanilla and lemon zest. Add the oat mixture and your mix-ins and combine. Press down into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool before cutting with a sharp knife.
